The Pittsburgh Steelers are going up against a depleted Dallas Cowboys defense that’s missing DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons. ESPN analyst and former head coach Rex Ryan thinks that means that Dallas’ defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer will change the defensive scheme. In response to that, Ryan wants the Steelers and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to take a page from the Baltimore Ravens and “dehydrate” Justin Fields with quarterback runs.
“[Mike] Zimmer’s gonna change the scheme to run blitzes and things like that, even though you ought to be living in it. My only concern with Pittsburgh is Arthur Smith on the other side, that offensive coordinator.
